Hey guys I wanted to ask you if anyone of you have the Sam and Max hit the road from the Lucasarts classics.Can somebody play it on Windows Vista or Windows 7?Or does it get bugged like the Space Quest collection I bought a few months ago?

The best thing to do is to use ScummVM to play Sam & Max Hit The Road. It's easy to use. Just run ScummVM, click on add game, and navigate to the directory you installed it in. After going through the prompts, now, just click on the game in the ScummVM GUI and click Start.

To play Space Quest collection, you can play the first five games in ScummVM too (the 6th isn't fully supported yet). You can also install Collector's DOSBox update to play the Space Quest games in a newer version of DOSBox (and with various fan patches) that should fix most problems.

I think we're all getting a little confused. Essentially, if you have got a copy of "Sam and Max Hit the Road" you will find that you cannot run it on later versions of Windows at all - unless, as formerly discussed, you run it through SCUMMVM. In which case it works fine.

If I read his post correctly, he's talking about the early 2000's re-release that Activision put out in Europe. In that case, it might work. It uses Aaron Giles' Windows port (he made a bunch of ports of LucasArts adventure games to Windows before he left LucasArts, and LucasArts didn't bother re-releasing them until years later), and the Steam games also use Aaron's Windows ports, and they work in Windows 7.
